Danke

This is a 4 1/4"x5 1/2" card, made from a green cardstock. I wrapped it with a brown ribbon, which is threaded through a yellow button. I have had both the ribbon and the button for a while, I've saved them from other things...knowing that someday I would use them. Today is finally that day! The owl is cut from Paisley at 3 1/2." I layered it on some green polka dotted paper, then layered that on some dark brown cardstock. The polka dot paper is cut at 4 1/4"x3 3/4" and the brown cardstock is 1/4" larger than that. I stamped my sentiment, which is from Fiskars, in pearlescent rust ink by Tsukineko, onto yellow cardstock. I then trimmed it to fit and cut the orange cardstock 1/8" larger. I then used pop-dots to adhere the sentiment to the card. I finished it all off with some brown gems for the owl's eyes.
This card is for these challenges:
